4 Claims. (Cl. 248-43) This application is a division or my copendln application Serial No. 791,015, filed December 11, 1947.

This invention relates to aerial mountings, flags or markers, and more especially to a device serving to mount aerial masts on chimneys, poles, cornices and the like, of various diameters.

It is an object of the invention to provide a mounting consisting of 'a few parts of simple construction and which can be flxed to a chimney by unskilled hands and in view of their simplicity, can be assembled cheaply and sold at a low price.

In the drawing afllxed to this specification and forming part thereof a preferred embodiment of my invention is shown diagrammatically by way of example.

In the drawing:

Fig. l is a side view, and

Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the, line 2-2 in Fig. 1 of a chimney with the ne 'mounting attached thereto.

Figs. 3 and 4 being side elevations, drawn to a larger scale, of two fixing and tightening members, respectively.

Referring to the drawing, l is the chimney and 5 is one web of a T-beam one half or which serves to hold in position an aerial mast I; the other half of web 5 forms together with web 6 an angle fixture adapted to be seated on and grip a corner of the chimney. The free end of the web I is formed with two slots 1 arranged inspaced superposition.

Through each slot 1 extends one end of a steelband 9, which is doubled up and by welding or riveting is formed into a loop Ill. The other end of each steel band passes through the eye H of a screw bolt l2 (Fig. 3) seated in one of the holes 8. This end is doubled up also and formed into a loop It held in position by means or a sleeve N (Fig. 4) provided with a set screw II in one and with a depression l8. facing this screw in the opposite side wall of the sleeve ll Into this depression the point of set screw I! will force the two reaches 01' the steel band 9 passing through the sleeve l4 and will thus lock them therein. It the nuts H are screwed home on the bolts II, the bands 9 encircling the chimney will be tightened and firmly secure the aerial in position.

Obviously any other well known tightening device may be substituted for the screw bolts l2. Generally speaking, I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the details of construction shown in the drawing and described in the specification, for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art. so

I claim:

1. An aerial mounting comprising an inflexible corner piece to flt the vertical corner of a chimney, at least one flexible tape adapted to extend around the chimney lying flat thereagainst and tensionably linked said corner piece; linking means including an, eye bolt mounted on said corner piece for gradual adjustment, a loop 01 the tape passing through the ear bolt, and registering indentations in said tape and clamping means cooperating therewith for stepwise adjustment of the loop.

2. An aerial mounting comprising a two-armed gripping element, the arms extending at a rigid angle to each other, a mast holder mounted at the back of said element, a screw member adjustably mounted on one arm for gradual tightening, means for linking a flexible tape to the other arm of said element, at least one flexible tape extending from said linking means through an opening in said screw member so as to form a loop; and registering indentations in said tape and clamping means cooperating therewith for stepwise adjustment of the loop.

3. An aerial mounting comprising in combination, a three-armed gripping element, a mast holder on one arm, a screw member adjustably mounted on said arm for gradual tightening, linking means on another arm forming a rectilinear extension of said one arm, a further arm in rigid connection with and perpendicular to said two arms, at least one flexible tape extending from said linking means through an opening in said screw member so as to form a loop; and registering indentations in said tape and clamping means cooperating therewith for stepwise adjustment of the loop.

4. An aerial mounting comprising in combination, multi-arm gripping means including two arms extending at a rigid angle to each other, a mast holder on another arm forming an extension of one or said two arms, a screw member adjustably mounted on said other arm for gradual tightening, linking means on said one arm, at least one flexible tape extending from said linking means through an opening in said screw member so as to form a loop: and re istering indentations in said tape and clamping means cooperating therewith i'or stepwise fixation of the MA! C033.
